I must admit that I don't use the Java hashmap and have written
a custom version. The reason for this custom version was basically
to allow faster iteration, and not allocating an iterator. This
was already done before JDK 8 came out, independent of JDK 8.

But I now read that JDK 8 has introduced a new realization
of HashMap. See for example:

 
http://blog.credera.com/technology-insights/java/java-8-part-3-hashmap-java-time/

So I understand that you could see dramatic negative changes.
Sorry to hear that.

I will check my code more closely now, and try to eliminate more
of HashMap by my custom code where appropriate.

Bye
